Like any patchy but promising debut from a classic rock group, it's often easy to underrate Queen's eponymous 1973 debut, since it has no more than one well-known anthem and plays more like a collection of ideas than a cohesive album…

Soriana is ‘our Syria’. Our country that we left behind, forced out either by a search or by circumstances. We head out thinking that we carry no baggage, completely unaware of the biggest gift our country has bestowed upon us. That gift is the gift of musical knowledge. It remains with me throughout many journeys, it soothes wounds and inspires creation, provides warmth and a platform of stability, images, aromas, tastes that water the mouth and inspire new creations still. This music is my gift to our Syria – Soriana.

13 tracks - Fantastic album - just came out on the Rhythm Bomb label! All songs are written by the band. A great mixture of Rhythm 'n' Blues, Rock 'n' Roll, Swing, even alternative Rock elements and Roots music! This album is definitely a must have for those of you who enjoy artists like 'The Hillbilly Moon Explosion', the french female roots music singer 'Zaz', 'The Beat From Palookaville' and for those who just are open to some 'newer' sounds! This is and I really mean that in a positive way no authentic stuff album - this is really an own style album which definitely is it worth to listen to it!

That's right, King! in Swedish, "Kong" rather than "Drottning"! Christina (1626-1689) was the only surviving child of Sweden's greatest monarch Gustavus Adolphus Vasa, who raised her to rule as a king and whose ministers executed his will by crowning the six-year-old girl King! Christina ruled under a regency until age 18, and then personally and earnestly over some eight years until her abdication in 1654. Her involvement in Swedish affair didn't terminate with her abdication, however. She returned to Sweden several times, on the last of which she might well have resumed her throne but for her whimsical conversion to Catholicism. She also drew her wealth, in her initial years in Italy, from vast estates in Sweden.
